And The Oscar Goes to.......

The most prestigious event for The World and Hollywood filmmakers has just ended. the 83th Academy Awards 2011 was successfully held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on February 27, 2011. Christian Bale received the best supporting actor award for his outstanding performance in the fighter (I have seen the movie and he acted brilliantly). Natalie Portman won the best actress for her role as a ballet dancer in Black Swan. Colin Firth (difficult name to pronounce by the way)has won the most coveted award by any movie actors that night, portraying the future King George VI in The King's Speech while Melissa Leo who acted brilliantly as Micky Ward's mother aka boxing promotor in the fighter was voted as the 2011 best supporting actress in the event. So, If you were a jury, what movie would you choose to win the best picture in this year academy award? Here are the Oscar nominees' trailers that I intentionally posted for your consideration:

The King's Speech

Tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war.

Black Swan

A ballet dancer wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan - Princess Odette - but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile, the Black Swan.

The Fighter

Inception

The Kids Are All Right

127 Hours

The Social Network

On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A chronicle of the founding of Facebook, the social-networking Web site.

Toy Story 3

The toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home.

True Grit

Following the murder of her father by hired hand Tom Chaney, 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross sets out to capture the killer. To aid her, she hires the toughest U.S. marshal she can find, a man with "true grit," Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn. Mattie insists on accompanying Cogburn, whose drinking, sloth, and generally reprobate character do not augment her faith in him. Against his wishes, she joins him in his trek into the Indian Nations in search of Chaney. They are joined by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who wants Chaney for his own purposes. The unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has his or her "grit" tested.

Winter's Bone

With an absent father and a withdrawn and depressed mother, 17 year-old Ree Dolly keeps her family together in a dirt poor rural area. She's taken aback however when the local Sheriff tells her that her father put up their house as collateral for his bail and unless he shows up for his trial in a week's time, they will lose it all. She knows her father is involved in the local drug trade and manufactures crystal meth, but everywhere she goes the message is the same: stay out of it and stop poking your nose in other people's business. She refuses to listen, even after her father's brother, Teardrop, tells her he's probably been killed. She pushes on, putting her own life in danger, for the sake of her family until the truth, or enough of it, is revealed.

There you go, all of them are pretty outstanding movies in my opinion. If I were the jury, I would probably vote for the inception to win the best picture award.Not only they have an exceptional storyline, they also have very interesting visual effect. But, what do I know? I'm just a douche bag. how about you? which movie do you think deserve to win the award? Oiya I almost forgot, and the winner goes to ........ King's Speech
